EDIT:

I figured I would try copying them all back at once and it worked. All bloatware apps are back up and running. No clue why it did not work when I did it one at a time... User error no doubt :)

******

I am trying to unroot and restoring my phone back to original, I need to return it for a replacement.

I removed the bloatware using "root explorer" I "moved" the apk and odec from system/app to sdcard/backup. Rebooted the bloatware appeared to be gone. I had no problems with the phone.

I tried doing this in reverse. In root explorer I copied and pasted the files back to system/app and rebooted the phone. the apps were not back and system/app did not show the files I had just pasted in the folder.

I also tried installing them via root explorer from sd/backup and installing them after c&p them back to system/app. Both times I got the same message that I was replacing an app and the app failed to install.

I have also tried c&p with droid explorer with no luck. The files disappear from system/app on reboot.

any ideas? Would a settings>privacy>factory reset, restore all of the bloatware? then I would just need to unroot the phone?

I get a text and I dragged my finger down, choose it, read it. I go back to home and I see a indicator on my messages icon saying one unread. I have to click on messages and then it clears when I go back home.

Is there a way to not make it show up on the notification bar when I get a new text? It's annoying that it doesn't register that I've read it when I check through the notification bar.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Go into the messaging app and press the menu button. Scroll down and unselect incoming notification.

#1

How do I get the city to update as I drive around? It is stuck to city I picked when I activated the phone?

I am using the Motorola preloaded weather app. I have not downloaded anything from the market yet.

#2

IF I do a rest to factory will I loose all my contacts?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] x.v_:
#2 - Not if you sync w/ Google.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] orcsbane13:
#1 you don't. You can add multiple cities and manually change them as you go, or you can download either the weather channel or weather bug apps as they do a much better job.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Reddog80p:
Make sure you have your weather setup to use the phones location not a zipcode.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Just Joe:
How do I set that up? On the Dinc it was in your face and easy. On this thing it has lie 3 sub menus for every dam thing.

OK I am looking t it right now where is the option to use phone /gps location not zip I must be missing it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incoherent:
Hey guys, so I searched and search, using the search function as described in the forum rules, and couldn't come across anything with this nature, so if anyone has an urge to help out a noob I would really appreciate it!

So I downloaded the new Android Desire V4 rom, someone told me there were instructions in the download, which there were...they read as follows...

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x20000000

set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set cmdline ""

boot

So my question is, again, um how do I do any of that! LOL Those look like a list of things I am supposed to do as opposed to actual instructions on how to do them LOL

If I run HaRet, it boots, but from my understanding I need to do the above list to make it functioning to it's (current) fullest potential?

Thanks for any assists!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
i haven't tried android, not interested in kids play things, but that to me lookslike a list of setup commands, , sure they aren't supposed to go in an initialization file of some kind?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
thats the startup txt details, and all you hav to do is copy it all to ur sd root and thats it its honestly not worth it at the min unless u just gonna play about for a bit
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incoherent:
hmm

Probably, but I don't even know what that means! LOL

I am like a super noob..haha.

I guess I am asking specifically what you would do, every step, to do the list of setup commands.

1. How do I change to those values, like which part of the phone I go into.

2. If they need to be installed, how exactly, specifically do I install them.

I am basically looking for full instructions. For example if I were teaching someone to watch a DVD who has never used a DVD/movie playing device before, I wouldn't just say "put it in and watch it." I would say. "This is the power button. Click that to turn the device on. This is the open tray button, click this, and place the DVD shiny/mirror side down flat. Click the open tray button again to close the tray. Once closed it should automatically play, if not click the button with the sideways triangle on it to start the movie."

Like that is how nooby I am with this stuff LOL..but not stupid enough to change something I shouldn't, screw something up. If the instructions are there, I got it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incoherent:
So I don't have to do anything? I have booted Android Desire V4 rom about 22 times so far, and every single time it is stuck in fast forward mode, does not give me the sim option like in the instructions on the website to download the file, and is generally the exact opposite of what everyone is claiming it is/doing.

So I would assume I am missing some key crucial steps no? Also My radio rom is fine, I reformatted my SD Card, it's fresh and all files are on the root of the card. From the sounds of it, you have to do something with the zImage (from what I have read), and something else... this is why I am confused.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
as far as i'm aware there are still a few issues where certain models cant run it properly? and isn't there something about there being a few different digitizers, and it only works on some? (that might not be an issue anymore, i've not been keeping up)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASCIIker:
i tried android quite a few times on my previous device (htc kaiser). i believe nearly the same concepts apply to the HD2 at the current stage of android development for the HD2.

facts:

1. you should know that android's files are to be kept on the sd card according to the instructions (more details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719646)

2. you should know that your windows and any settings made under windows will remain INTACT. this is because android, being in the storage card, is like an independent operating system.

3. point 2 above implies that any settings specific to windows or specifically made in the windows system settings (etc) have NO IMPACT on android. so no need to ask:

4. the only things important to android are the radio ROM version and MAYBE the (Hard)SPL version.

5. android is spun into action using "haret". haret is a little program that is started from windows but it essentially kicks out windows (temporarily) and tricks the phone into booting android from the sd card.

so from all of the above points, we can conclude that any and all configurations for android must be made in some text files. this text file must be placed according to the instructions somewhere along side haret and the rest of the android files on the sd card. this should answer:

this text file, as suggested by demon_man in post 3 in this thread is the "startup.txt". another name for startup.txt is "default.txt". these files are the same, except that haret pre-selects "default.txt" as your startup script when you launch haret. this saves you the step of manually selecting a particular startup file (you can have a bunch of startup files with different settings in each to experiment and you can name them ANYTHING). so after experimenting, you should arrive at a startup file containing configurations that work well for you. you can then name this file as "default.txt" and you can also optionally delete all the other startup files you created while you were experimenting.

i hope the above gives you some idea of what to do. if i had tried android on the HD2 for myself and if i had personally done more research of android on the HD2, i would have certainly given you some links of material that i am CERTAIN already exists, if you fancy searching just a little bit. being a noob is no excuse, because "search" is the FIRST forum rule. and just saying that you searched without posting some example keywords of what you searched for sounds "fishy", so not sure you searched well :P

i have written the above to help you build your concept, but we would all applaud for you (yay!) if you post in the appropriate threads for android and android tutorials from now on. i doubt you will need to post more because what i have tried to detail for you above should be a very solid foundation for you to understand how the wonderful people here at xda have gotten android to work on devices it was never released for.
[Touch GSM General] robrodrigues:
Hi folks,

I know it's a bit late to the party of android, and it's getting more usual new devices with the android on it but i have this HTC and i read everything i might find on the net and in this forum and i'm confused if my htc is capable of run th android OS.

My htc is same at the picture in this part of forum but has the texas processor of 200 mhz it's the gsm version.

I tried the follow the vogue procedures to istall it, even a cab i found here with an earlier of android 1.0 did not work www dot myhtcphone dot com and the most i get is when i try to boot with the SD clean with only a folder with andboot/androidinstaller.tar download with date of 17-12-2009 and with the hare files on the root i see linux booting i press the buttons that could be the volume up, or central pad or even camera button but it get's stuck on a white very white screen, the dimension is correct 240*320 .

So my question is this htc is capable or not, and if possible can i do anything to run on it ????

I just got froyo and a special flash apk that fixes the hulu.com mess. I can't deal with the choppiness that the new android flash has. Does anyone else have this problem? Its not even worth watching videos if the flash player constantly stops to buffer. I tried finding fixes for this but I don't see anyone trying to figure this out. Is this adobe's problem?
[Droid Incredible General] smalltownbird:
I used it to watch adult swim and it didnt stop once and was very crisp. This was over 3g also.
[Droid Incredible General] NickkxNekro:
I hardly use hulu, but tried it just to see how the flash works. I'm an avid Twilight Zone fan, and searched and watched some episodes. Running off of wifi (since I have horrid service at my house), the video was highly watchable, when fast action was on the screen it stuttered a little bit, but never stop / froze / became unwatchable. Love it. ♥
[Droid Incredible General] Oddity:
Isn't the flash plugin still in beta right now?
[Droid Incredible General] NickkxNekro:
I'm using sky raider 1.9, nothing about beta, and I didn't have to download flash from the marketplace like some people had to with the Cyanogen mod.

Was going to say it might just be the built-in flash plugin for sense, but I checked the market place and didn't see it there, but saw "Adobe Flash Player 10.1" in my applications under "All". No beta tag there ;D
[Droid Incredible General] barry1685:
I have the same build.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Flash is in beta right now. Beta 4, if memory serves.
[Droid Incredible General] barry1685:
When I am watching hulu.com it says a warning at the top before it plays " This video is not optimized for mobile viewing" I have 4 bars of service and it still struggles with a small 2 min video.

EDIT*I did download a week ago an apk that tweaked the flash player so that it would work with hulu.com
[Droid Incredible General] giantcrazy:
Kinda hard to complain running an unsanctioned version of the OS and a beta Flash player.

Give it 6 months, and then you'll have ample opportunity to complain.

In order to watch flash videos at hulu.com do you have to update the flash.apk with the tweaked version?

I am not sure if it is flash we are having problems with. Maybe its the cache? It seems that the like 20 secs into a flash video it starts to get choppy. Maybe its the cache getting full. I have noticed when I run a different browser the flash player plays differently. I think the skyfire browser was the best so far at playing flash.

I downloaded app called SMS Popup. Its pretty cool. When you get an incoming SMS it turns the screen on and shows you the txt, you can then close, delete, or reply right from there.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
Does it show up like iphone does with txts? or it takes you straight to the message window?
[Captivate General] loudjp:
handcent sms works great
[Captivate General] kletiz:
I agree with you! Very customizable.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Do either of those pop up ONLY when locked?

The iPhone's popups are truly a PITA, I love the way Android does it when I'm using it... But I wish there would be some sort of popup preview when locked.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
It shows up on the home screen like iphone does, only little better, you can quick reply right from the window.

It reminds me of BiteSMS for jailbroke iphones.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I have heard that, not tried it yet. Gonna roll with SMS Popup for a week or two then try handcent.

So far what I like about SMS Popup is the fact that it gives you the popup with the quick reply, close, delete option, but it doesnt interfere with or override the default built in messaging app (which I kind of like too).

I tested out a Droid last November for 30 days. And after using an iphone for 2 years one of the biggest gripes I had about android was the way you got almost no notification of an incoming sms, except for a tiny little LED. If I had known about handcent or sms popup I may have never taken the Droid back within the 30 day window. I was missing tons of txt messages because of it.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
i have a request can someone post a picture of the puzzle pieces when a message comes
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I switched from Handcent to SMS Popup for that reason... SMS Popup seems more integrated whereas there's just way too much stuff going on with Handcent
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Its the standard lock screen but its made to look like a jigsaw puzzle. You have to slide a yellow puzzle piece over to the right into the blank space where it belongs. And on the yellow puzzle piece, it tells you how many missed messages you have. Like a 2 with an envelope. I think its a little cheesy myself. I'm sure if you google it, there's a picture of it somewhere.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
ok ty just saw a video of it in of the reviews looks alrite
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
any hopes to get a S2U2 style setup for the lock screen? I loved it on WinMo, but love this device so much more than to be stuck with that ancient O/S anymore.....

EDIT - Lock 2.0 Demo and Full are iPhone style.... but with no SMS preview and all that good stuff that S2U2 is known for, so I wait!
[Captivate General] bowtieguy:
Any way to get google voice sms messages to show on the lock screen?
[Captivate General] naplesbill:
I honestly like this feature. I do a lot of texting and it's nice to be able to unlock and go directly to the sms app.

It would be nice if there were similar puzzle pieces for other notifications though.
[Captivate General] enokoelite:
I actually like the little puzzle piece. I just wish they had a piece for everything. Like one for missed calls. One for voicemail. Something like that.
[Captivate General] gr1fter:
they do have different puzzle peices for different things...ill try to take some screenshots...post back soon.

edit:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

missed phone calls are orange and placed higher

missed sms are green and placed lower

if both missed phone call and sms they will both show on the screen and you can choose your puzzle piece
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
But not at the same time though, as in if you had a new email AND a new text message, it won't show TWO puzzle pieces at the same time, and you choose which one you want to "unlock" - now THAT would be cool!
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I uninstalled them because they both are somewhat buggy (SMS Popup notified me twice, even with the default app's settings shut off, and then if I was already in the texting app, Handcent didn't seem to be able to know that I had looked at it)

I'll just deal with it until Samsung releases a fix.
[Captivate General] gr1fter:
it doesnt do mail and sms that way but it will do missed phone calls and sms, hopefully in the future will be more options

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormyuk:
Hi,

I have had my Touch Diamond2 about a year but today (or maybe in the past day or so) I have started having an issue with SMTP outgoing mail. Incoming seems to work fine but outgoing I get a "System Administrator" message instantly with the following.

554 5.7.1 <email@address.com> Recipient address rejected: Access denied

It does not matter what email address I send to, this has just started happening.

Is it an issue with my phone or have Orange UK done something at their end or the server, I am on the Orange UK network, using smtp.orange.net as I have done for the past year?

All other internet browsing seems fine as well as incoming mail.

The phone is using the latest WM6.5 EU rom standard from the HTC site.

Cheers,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I would try to delete the account and set it up from scratch again.

Did you re-verify that your SMTP is still correct?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormyuk:
Thanks for the input.

It seems now you have to authenticate on the SMTP server with an Orange email account even when on the Orange network. No idea why thats suddenly happened as the phone has been fine for the past 14 months!

[EVO 4G General] rugbychix@gmail.com:
I live in Philly proper and have been "war driving" with my 4G turned on looking for dead spots/speed testing. In general it seems like coverage has improved.

Speeds are pretty much what Sprint advertised using Speedtest.net from the marketplace. 1 Bar is consistently 2500-3500, 2 bars is consistently 3250-4000 and max bars tests at 3500-5000. I have yet to hit 6000 on Speedtest.net....

...on the phone. Imagine my surprise to see sub 75ms pings and 8000 throughput when tethered! After redoing the test on Speedtest.net I looked for some real life examples. I downloaded some trial software from Microsoft, update my Ubuntu installation and fired up some torrents. While I never hit 8000, I did see some nice sustained torrent downloads that were near 7000. The crazy was that I accomplished this with only 1 or 2 bars, in doors. I plan on testing it outdoors in better conditions.

Has anyone well experienced similar results?
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
